That is pretty much the opposite as it should be. Establishing a weak villain is a bullet in a knee for a film. If he kicked their asses and “sent” them back home training, it would at least add some motive to the story/characters.
Very well put. I’m reminded of a great quote by Alfred Hitchcock: “The more successful the villain, the more successful the picture.”
But in fairness, I suppose that rule doesn’t apply to Star Wars. Star Wars has established that pretty much anything with the Star Wars logo on it will make money.
